Poker Atlas

Every been somewhere other than home or Las Vegas and wanted to play some poker but had no idea where to find the nearest room? I clearly remember having that experience in Iowa a couple of years back; I knew there were several good poker rooms somewhere out there but how to find them...

Well search no longer, the PokerAtlas is here. Two of my new, good friends have been traveling around the country for nearly two years finding, playing and writing about poker rooms. Leigh and Brian have now assembled their poker locator complete with reviews, maps, and tournament schedules.

So the next time you are lost in Yonkers check them out.

And feel free to add your comments on rooms you have played; no better source for the "best & worst" rooms out there then other poker players.

TJ's and Dr. Shrink's reviews of Tunica poker rooms reminded me of some overdue pimping ...

Be sure to check out The Poker Atlas, the recently launched brainchild of PB contributor Girl Poker Tour and her husband, Brian. The two of them have spent the last couple years traveling the country by RV in an effort to visit every (legal) poker room in the United States. So if you're hitting the road and looking for a place to play, this site will give you the basic info you need to get in a game ... and it also allows you to share your comments and ratings. Pretty cool.

And since we're feeling link-happy:

-- here's the blog chronicling their TPA adventures as they happen (and the simple blog that inspired the user-driven review site).

-- here's the blog about their 1963 Airstream ride. Shiny and fun.

-- here's Brian's personal poker blog. (By the way, dude, I totally admire your choice in sunglasses.)

-- and last but not least, here's Girl Poker Tour's personal poker blog.

All good stuff, being that they travel the country so you don't have to, and seem to have fun along the way.
